The best skill is AOE at the moment. You can stun a few, ability block a few, but if you are against a wedge Biggs anakin Lando team someone is going to drop some pain on you. My ig88 has AOE AB. That doesn't do a lot when one AOE wrecks both IG units.

AOE is on the cusp of being obsolete... those wiggs/ landakin teams are incredibly easy to beat with a solid empire squad

I seriously doubt that. When you have 4 characters that each dump 7,000-14,000 on EACH of your characters they don't last long. Biggs and wedge will always go before ep, and OHK with Biggs special.

Shoretrooper nullifies those AOE's and makes lando borderline useless... he also absorbs that initial wiggs burst attack with 100k prot/ hps.

I use tie pilot at a speed that trumps pretty much anything for the first turn ability/ buff block... and then a big single target hit. Followed by a fast Rex to give TM boost and tenacity. After that point it's all over but the crying. Vader will ohko someone... palp will stun/ shock... shoretrooper re-applies his taunt if need be. It's super effective vs pretty much anything I've faced so far.

It's a team that is far better when player controlled (as are most) but that's really the point anyway... you don't get any real joy when you are not playing your team so why not make one that can beat anything pretty easily.

Anyway... ability block is very strong and will become even more useful in the way things are trending
